Steve,
We have 60 small ones around here but they have most of the either out now or under control. It is still very smoky this morning and the sun is having a hard time getting through.
They do the best they can to prevent them, but there is nothing that you can do about lightening strikes. They had the spotter planes in the air watching for them as soon as that 4 hours of heavy thunder and lightning moved on. That is why they have managed to stop them as well as they have.
